A Stiner : There is no di!ferenc.e at all
between by role and the role of the
• other regents. II is spelled out very
clearly. 1 bave all the responsibilities, rights,
and duties of the other. regents, except I can't
vote. One vote doesn't usua!Jy make a great deal
of difference. .
The vote is of symbolic importance. It should
be somthing that we work for in the future. It's
very symbolic for the student regent to bave that
vote.
The real impact the student regent has is being
able to talte what is decided at the regent
meetings to the students ,and explain the
significance of those decisions. 1 also inform the
rest <>f the board of student opinion on decisions
before IMy are made.
I'm conducting open forums on camp11S, lite
the one we had today, prior to each regent
meeting. Students talk about whatever they
want, IMn I present a su.mmarized version of
that forum to the regents.

I can let students know that the board is the
governing body of not jtl5t NAU, but U of A. and

problems. They're like the board of directors of a

watts to open their frequencies for bid to
another station, said Dale Hoskins, the

Station manager, Chris Czachowski ,
senior telecommunication major , said the
upgrading would involve the addition of a
new radio tower, studio transmitter and
studio facilities.
Czachowslci said the funds from instruc·
lion and public service categories would be
used with federal money. "I don't know if it
would be cheaper to go with 100,000 watts or
not. It might be cheaper than going flve or
10,000 watts since we would get more
federal money for the higher wattage," he
said.
Czacbowski said 100,000 watts would
cover most of northern Arizona.

Students find establishing credit difficult
by Angela Yearta
Students with no credit history may find
themselves ina predicament when planning
major purchases such as homes or cars and
then finding that they must bave credit to
pay for them.
The credit establishing process may be
particularly bard for students new to the
credit rating game.
" It's always tough for young people to get
started witbotit previous credit to checl:.
We generally give them loans if they've
been on a job for a-;vbile and maybe they are
buying merchandise such as a car," said
Jack Richards, manager at Valley National
Bank's university branch.
Richards e•plained that 75 percent of all
loans applied for are approved because
most students realize that they cannot walk
into a bank and borrow $500-$1 ,000 on the
spot.
Mark Strivings, a married NA U senior,
said, " It 's a real hassle to get credit, but
once yoo get it started, it's fine, as long as
you keep up the payments." Strivings had
no credit until two years ago when be toot a
loan oot for a public addreu system. He
said that it is difficult to get a loan unleu
parents or other already established people

The bank maaa,er said that " It '1 real

of ICIIool, lie Will delillitely need credit to
get a llorne, ~ or get establilbed. If
we have done him 1M injustice of creating
bad credit IMn be has got a problem."
Many students turn to the alternative of
Federally Insured Student Loans (FISLI
which have a seven percent interest rate as
compared to a 12 percent or higher rate on
a reg11lar lear •.
Sue LaBaido, NA.U senior, bas a FISL.
" It's good (FISL)because you don't have to
pay until nine months after graduation."
Most banks try not to treat students
differently than non-students , said
Richards. In fact , they lite to make as
many loans as possible because that is their
business.
Peggy and Jack Hounsell, married NAU
seniors, have received student loans and
feel that these help establiJb credit. " Get­ting
a cbecking account and a banting card

out-<>f-state student. She also said that one
of their smartest moves was to pay for a

because that created a credit record.
Banb look for three main characteristics
in loan applicants: permanency on the job,

Although loans are usually tough to come
